World - First World Record - [Vinyl]

Throughout their debut album The World never lose the thread of their argument, which mainly lines up the many unthinking elements of modern life in its cross hairs. 'Namaste' calls out the "culture muck" of short-sighted faddish behavior, whilst others disappear "never to return" on the 'La La Coach'. However, The World never become didactic, there's always a surreal dark sense of humour running through their songs, touching on the everyday absurdity of existing after meaning. This perhaps is best delivered up on the album's closing track and lament 'I Fell in Love with a Slumlord'. Drums tumble and jog along with the jubilant sax work whilst the band profess their secret love for the aforementioned property owner. "He sneaks around in desert camos, what's he up to? Nobody knows. But how I wish he'd go and spy on me!" they ruefully confess. In this current climate of cool-trading, cheese omelets and ghost town guilt we only have The World to rely on as our true guides to a better place, a better world. Now let's go there!
